Whoopi Goldberg couldn’t help but burst into laughter when Joy Behar dropped a bombshell revelation about her past on The View. Behar, one of the original cohosts of the iconic show, spilled the beans on how she was “happy” to be shown the door back in 2013.
As the Hot Topics sizzled on the show, Behar, a veteran who’s been there since the beginning with Barbara Walters in 1997, revisited a 2022 chat with Time magazine where she openly expressed joy over her departure from the talk-show circus.
“I’ve always believed in having friends at work, and if there are no friends around, I won’t stick around,” Behar spilled. “So, when I got fired from this show last time, people asked, ‘Were you okay with that?’ And guess what? I was happy! All my pals had already bid farewell, so why stay? It’s as simple as that.”
Whoopi, a mainstay on The View when Behar made her exit, couldn’t believe it. “Really? All your friends left?” she asked, leaving the audience in speechless silence.
